hello again

The flip-side of yesterday's photo.

This fish is lying hidden in the sand at the bottom of the tank, just the big googly eyes giving it away....

ooh hello

Ray in the touch tank at Exploris Aquarium.

festival of fools

This weekend saw the second Festival of Fools in Belfast. This photo is of half of 'Tempo Rubato' - a surreal double act. My daughter loved them, but I found their masks really creepy - (they reminded me of the mask worn by the Michael Palin character in Brazil). Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any photos of everyone's favourite, the wonderful Mario, Queen of the Circus.

My husband was walking in the Mourne Mountains yesterday and this morning. On the second photograph, you can see the Mourne Wall, a 22 mile long wall, built in the early years of the last century to enclose the Mourne water catchment area.

Big Issues seller outside Forestside shopping centre. Ireland's Big Issues is an offshoot of the UK Big Issue magazine, and provides an income for homeless people.

Intetior staircase in the City Hall. Designed by Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas, it celebrated its centenary last year. You can take a virtual tour here.

just visiting

I'm not officially participating in today's theme day (still haven't worked out how to..), but nevertheless, I thought I'd visit another city for the day. This was taken last summer, on the last night of a wonderful holiday in Paris, at the funfair in the Tuileries. (The chairs are empty as it had just started to rain- making it a little easier to go home.)
